What is recorded here

Mnemo is a sacred place. The church is not built on it. It stands alone in a hidden valley. The church owns the land around it. The church has done nothing to damage it. The church protects it. That is the difference. Some churches build on sacred places. Some churches leave them alone. The first church in this valley chose the second path. Mnemo still stands because of that choice.

In pasture, in hollow on E-facing slope. Circular area (19.8m N-S) defined by heavily overgrown earthen bank (H 1.8m). Entrance to ESE, stone faced on N side.
